modify build.bat file

[darkdragon]

Hi,

Is there any possibility to modify the build.bat file?
We wont to include some command to kill the IIS worker processes, as we mostly test in IIS as we need Windows Integrated credentials.

The dotnet --publish command is unable to overwrite the main dll, therefore we need to restart App Pool or kill the w3wp process

You can add listeners to the BeginGenerate / EndGenerate events in usercode to stop/start IIS. Read:
https://aspnetmaker.dev/docs/#/usercode.html

For example:

const ExecSync = require("child_process").execSync;

Events.on("BeginGenerate", () => {
    ExecSync("iisreset /stop");
});

Events.on("EndGenerate", () => {
    ExecSync("iisreset /start");
});

Make sure that you have Administrative rights when running iisreset.

Great! It works!
Another way to ensure publishing to IIS is to kill (all) worker processes

const ExecSync = require("child_process").execSync;

Events.on("EndGenerate", () => {
ExecSync("taskkill /IM w3wp.exe /F");
});
